CALM: Bubba Chandler’s Walk-Filled Spring Outing Needs No PANIC—Here’s What To WATCH

from Locked On Pirates - Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Pirates · host Locked On Podcast Network

Pittsburgh Pirates fans wrestle with Bubba Chandler’s rocky spring training outing—four walks in an inning spark debate about his readiness to anchor the rotation. Is growing pain normal, or the start of a troubling trend for Chandler as he’s counted on for the full MLB season? Gary Morgan explains why moments like these are crucial for player development, referencing Chandler’s progression and lessons learned from Paul Skenes and Mitch Keller. Jack Suwinski lands with the Los Angeles Dodgers, potentially finding a clearer path to a 26-man roster spot than he had in Pittsburgh. Morgan explores the Pirates’ outfield depth chart, Suwinski’s power potential, and the realities of MLB roster churn. Plus, listeners get answers to burning AMA questions—who’s the greatest two-sport athlete, and which Pirates team inspired the most confidence? This episode blends fresh roster analysis, player development insight, and engaging fan Q&A for a comprehensive Pirates baseball fix.   Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
